How do you save a folder in a folder?

In any Windows, first, you have to create a new folder. So, go to where you want to save your first folder (the one that will hold the other folder inside it). Then, right-mouse-click, and click 'create new folder'. A folder will pop up, and name that folder. Then, after naming that folder, double-click on it to go inside the folder. There will be nothing there, since it is a new folder. Then, right-mouse-click inside the emtpy space, and click on 'create new folder'. Name that folder, and then you just saved a folder within a folder.

In what folder to you install a program?

That would be the "Program Files" folder. It is usually on C: drive. With a 64 bit system you will have a "Program Files" folder, and a "(x86) Program files" folder. The program itself will usually be in a separate folder in the "Program file" folder. It will either have the name of the program or the name of the program Company. If the folder is named after the company then the program will be in a separate folder inside the company folder.
